Noob checking in from So Cal(edit, pics up)

What's going on everyone! I just joined this forum because I just bought my first(real) project car at age 32!

I am a welder/fabricator and just started working at a Custom Classics fab shop in October, so I am new to car fab. Prior experience is pipe welding, gasifiers/furnaces, etc.

Anyways, on to the car! It's a 1940 Olds Coupe 2 door, and is incomplete without a frame, fenders, front end, etc. The body is strait, and has a lot of the chrome pieces. I'll be posting pics when I get it to the shop which should be about Friday.

I look forward to learning a lot in this project through my co-workers and hopefully this forum!

You need to go over the VIN or data plate to find out.

Well... That's starting from scratch!

It should be an interesting project. I can't wait to see pictures of it during the build.

The foundation is there, so it's a good start. I'll get a build thread going in the very near future so my progress can be seen by all. I'm really excited about this and I have a lot of ideas!
